Reserve Me???

I've been thinking about joining the Air Force Reserve ... Honestly, I feel like it could be a really good move for my life. They would give me a workout and healthy eating space for two months in basic training. <- I've been saying I want to drop about 10 to 15lbs and tone up. I would get training in my field of choice in Houston, TX. <- I've saying I want to travel and I would be gaining experience that would benefit me in the work world. It would get me out of my mama's house. <- For six months to a year I would be living in Houston doing my training. I'd only be giving up one weekend a month. <- I grew up an army brat and one thing that I realized from living in that kind of environment was that I didn't want to live the active duty lifestyle. I don't have to pick up and move or get up early every single day to do PT. I can still do me and live my normal life. The reserve would pay off my student loans, grant me the G.I bill, and they would give me a monthly stipend for doing something I want to do anyway, get a college degree. <-That would take care of my school worries. I would automatically get health, life, and a considerable discount on car and renter's insurance. <- That would take care of my other life concerns. Plus I hear that they give all new recruits and $3,000 to $5,000 signing bonus. <- That's just money in the bank or a down payment for a newer car.

Now here's the down side, I can't sign up for this and change my mind after a few years. I'll have to do the full 8 or else I would be dishonorably discharged and I've never be able to get a good job anywhere. During the time of training and AIT I don't really know what would happen with my relationships friendly and romantic alike. If a war does break out, I will have to go. I have to meet some people who are actually in to get a better perspective ((cuz you know a recruiter isn't gonna tell the whole truth)) but it is something that I really want to think about. It's something that can really change my life.
